So if you like character-driven space opera in the vein of Red Rising and Mass Effect, I hope you'll check them out.
And even if you DON'T like the genre, you should still check them out. I don't make the rules. :)

So, here's a book recommendation I never thought I'd make.

We've made about a dozen recipes out of it and, I swear, every one's been a hit. Super easy too.
